Sort of an off-the-wall idea: Do some kind of event, maybe a promotional thing connected with the business model of your intended product. Or maybe a hackathon or competition of so…

Yes. Yes. You can use HTML and write just fine. It's a markup language, like old runoff, which could be used to generate nice, fancy prospectus documents for a major gov. agency in…
